Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: New study says that Eugenia calycina and Eugenia involucrata are the same specie
« on: August 26, 2016, 02:25:40 PM »
Cassio, very rare that eugenia cereja: what differences there would be with the common eugenia involucrata?

I am lost with all these eugenias... and dont know what species I have...

Yes, I use to drink guava leaf tea, even because I like the flavour. But I really would like to do aracauna tea... but I dont know if it can be poisonous... do you know about some poisonous psidium species leaves?

Hey huertas, I have involucrata flowering from 2.5 years and calycina from Miguel has different foliage. Some just fruit young.

Ok, so there are involucratas that fruit earlier. And, Don, what about the leaves at my photos, are them identical to yours?

Hi, thanks for posting, Miguel

What is the normal time to fruit of an e. involucrata? I have 4 and one of them fruited last year at just 2 or 3 years old, 1m tall. So could this be what we knew as e. calycina?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / pitanga and guava tea mixed?
« on: August 24, 2016, 10:09:44 PM »
Hi, maybe this is a stupid question, but I use to drink pitanga or guava tea, not mixed. I wonder if I mix them, would you think it would produce a health problem because of mixing it?

Does someone of you drink them mixed?

Just took a look at the weather for your area. Im sticking with putting them outside, but on nights where it's close to freezing you might want to move them inside just for the night. Hope that's helpful, best of luck.

Thanks Coyote: there are almost no frost at my garden... so I will try with 5 pots outside and 5 inside the greenhouse, and see what method is the best...

Very good reply, thanks. About the recently planted seeds: should they be outside or into the greenhouse?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / pawpaw seeds sprouting into the fridge!
« on: August 15, 2016, 05:16:12 PM »
Hi, I cant remember if this happened to me before, but today I went to the fridge to see a mail with pawpaw (asimina triloba) seeds that was never opened and, to my surprise, all the seeds were sprouted! at 4ºC, how can it be possible?



So, I planted all the seeds into small pots with good drained soil but didnt knew where to put the pots: into the greenhouse or outside?

We are in winter now, just 1 month till spring and temps go down to 4ºC at night, sometimes below 1ºC, and max 20ºC during the day.

What to do?

Also, I have 3 pawpaws (2 years old, 20cm tall) into the greenhouse: none of them sprouted leaves yet... even if they are at 30ºC or 35ºC during the day, and 5ºC at night. Should I put them outside too?

Very thanks for the report and for the video! I have just only 1 pitomba tree, small, 1 feet tall, and now I know I should take care of it very well!!! I tasted pitanga, eugenia repanda and uvaia, and liked them all

Tropical Fruit Discussion / how about planting 2 macadamias very near?
« on: August 12, 2016, 01:47:37 PM »
Hi, I am running out of space in our garden and I would like to plant a second macadamia near the first one because I read that it's neccesary to produce fruit to have 2 plants..


Would it be good to plant it very near? I mean, just 1 or 2 feet ... I really don have enought space now... and would like to plant another 2 species: white sapote and biribá maybe, well separated...

Hi again, the plant produced 8 more fruits on winter and I tasted a maybe overripe one: it was so so so so so similar to a strawberry (and to strawberry guava, but I liked it more), I cant believe it... maybe we should wait till all of them are yellowish green and soft to the touch.

« on: July 31, 2016, 08:19:25 AM »
Hi, if it gives to pressure, it could be ripe, but I would wait a bit more, anyway, It will not rot in the tree so fast and it's better to wait till it's ripe...

that's a mummified atemoyasI assume from cold damage.

Ok JF, and why not cherimoya? (I would like it to be atemoya, but I got to be sure...)

Hey, you should know it! we are in the middle of the winter here... and also at Chile...

is there something rare about this fruit?

Maybe this is just another chirimoya, I can see some photos at google images that are similar, for instance:

Tropical Fruit Discussion / anona id: cherimoya or what?
« on: July 18, 2016, 10:14:57 PM »
Hi, would it be chirimoya, biribá or atemoya? The man sells it as chirimoya, but when I went to buy it, he told me it was another species, and that it was chilean chirimoya.

But I never saw a chirimoya like this... and the skin is much much thicker and harder than the others I tasted (http://www.huertasurbanas.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/chirimoya_argentina_20151011T173924.jpg
) (I even could eat the other ones, this is like a rock)


It is obvious it was over ripe, but It tasted still good, similar to pineaple mixed with orange or lemon and cherry... greener it would be really good, the flavour remembers other cherimoyas I tasted.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Annona graft compatibility table
« on: July 16, 2016, 04:10:13 PM »
Hi, nice topic.

I have a very nice annona montana, 1.3 m tall planted at the garden and I would like to know if it would have any sense to graft a guabanana (a. muricata) over her... at our backyard we almost have no frosts... but I know a. muricata suffers a lot when temps go down to -5º C and the wind let it without leaves...

Hi Friends,

I went over to Norman's house today and checked on his Rollinia tree. To my delight a small fruit(about softball size) had ripened! The flavor was AMAZING... not quite like lemon meringue pie but more like lemonade concentrate with a dense, slimy texture. It had a few seeds but not many. Here are some pics... it started turning black almost right after I picked it!





There are a lot more fruit on the tree that are much larger than this but have not ripened yet.

Thanks for the report.

The only fruit I tasted that is similar to lemon is psidium cattleianum var lucidum (lemon guava)

so is it similar to that one?

I have one planted rollinia mucosa tree from Argentina but it seems to be dying (maybe lack of sun, I dont know, it even flowered at 1m hight), and another poted ones  (seeds from Hawaii) that are growing very fast.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: I need more guavas in my life.
« on: July 11, 2016, 10:22:53 PM »
Hi, I didnt tasted cas guava but I have 2 trees, now I will take better care of them.

I did tasted psidium australe (arazá de hoja marrón) and psidium guineense (arazá de campo) and they were very good, you should get them! also strawberry guava and lemon guavas are one of my favourite... and the "branca" (psidium cattleianum) or white thai guava is the best I ever had...

In the future, I should have fruits of psidium eugeniaefolia, psidium longipetiolatum and another very rare that is's maybe psidium "guyanense"... all of them should be fine too.

About psidium guajava, I grow a cuban one, the fruit should weight 1/2kilo but the trees are just 2 years old now... the others are: orange angola, branca, vermella, amarela, paraguay, perú, roxa and maybe some others...
